The Bosnian war of 1992-1995 was the most devestating conflict in Europe since 1945. Fought over national boundaries and ethnic differences, this war broke out shortly after the collapse of the Yugoslav state and due to new national boundaries being drawn with almost all of them having sizable minority populations of either Serbs, Croats or Bosniaks whom did not want to be in their country. This led to a nationalistic, ethnically hate fueled conflict that featured some of the worst fighting of the late 20th century. Sieges like that at Sarajevo which lasted for years and claimed so many lives, rampant rape and assault of civilians, war crimes against POW's and genocide against minority ethnic groups. Between 1992 and 1995 tens of thousands of people died and hundreds of thousands suffered displacement, being wounded and rape.
